RE: [ActiveDir] SMS 2003

[Jones, Rick J.(Desktop Engineering)]

I know the feeling, we have been tasked with making sure we are only deploying to client levels that are within certain specs. We have developed scripting methods used as a domain startup script to install the client only on systems that are W2K, XP with CPU speed > 200 and Memory > 128 and HDD Space > 50MB. I don’t know of any other way myself to make SMS limit the install to our requirements without a scripted method of some sort.  This is what we are doing.   Rick J.
